Thanks man, I have programmed only in high level (C/C++) and this whole world is new to me. Great explanation and it left very clear what is the motivation for using these devices today.
I stumbled upon this video because I was interested in a company called Analogue. What they do is make high end retro clone consoles. Like the NES snes Sega Genesis, ect. They use fpgas to make consoles that are the closest 1 to 1 experience with modern tv outputs available, but the cost are high as well. Being a total noob, I was curious as to why, and you do a good job in explaining what fpgas do, so thank you
took 5 minutes to understand fpga with your video while the others on youtube only made it harder to understand by using technical terms that i'm not familiar with. Thanks!
Hey, I'm 39 & Sadly, I really don't know how to program😢 But, I Just wanted to say that This video is truly exceptional & helped me understand something I never thought I could grasp. I look forward to watching all your other videos! Over the last 5yrs or so Ive been tinkering w/ & some basic stuff like DIY drones, MCU &, Raspberry pi stuff etc... Even though a lot of stuff is way over my head, I Just really enjoy trying to absorb any & all tech knowledge & over time I pick up on bits & pieces (on a conceptual basis). Thanks again!
hey i am an indian student of iit . i think you are a great teacher. you teach everything very clearly . you must be a professor . great job keep it up . best of luck :)
Still trying to grasp why the hell we passed so much time without ever heard about that. I’m on the IT industry and never heard about anything like that. That’s great
@@hailsatyrdefinitely yes but FPGA is still a niche technology. There are some geographical hotspots where the regarding industries are settled, so you need to be ready to move.
man..i am SO stoked !! 'cause just yesterday i got this book that had VHDL and had NO idea what it was,,,and tonight i just happened on toy channel and boy what a FIND. !! a fricking GOLD Mine..i subscribed and gave u a like...and boy I AM HOOKED...+ you are an AWESOME instructor and believe me for me THAT is WAY important...thank YOY. SO much !! from a veey happy subscriber. whadaway to start The New Year WOOOO-HOOOOOO
ቀሪው ዘመንህ ይባረክ ! meaning , may each of Your remaining years b blessed richly ! thank you , you hv a gift to make complex things clear and understandable
Thanks for the video. I have a suggestion for you, whenever you want to explain something that may be a repetition and not directly related to the topic of the video, you could put a pop-up on the screen informing the viewer from which minute you will be go back to the main topic. Cheers
while working on designing and developing an EEG sensor project to study brainwaves, what would you recommend as best options to choose an FPGA board and a compatible ADC daughter board. I am using Quartus prime litle edition.
Good that you take up that you do things in parallel, that is a corner stone. You actualy write a decription how to connect logic rather then describe a sequens.
At first I was thinking that FPGAs were the flash version of processors and their instructions. But now I guess that doesn't make sense, because when you think back to how flash stores things, it can only store charges in cells that represent 0s and 1s; but not the tools that those 0s and 1s _go through_ for processing. So then it makes sense that you could not assemble the cells of data in a basic flash storage to become the tools that those bits go through. Right? But then that gives rise to the question: What adjustable type of semiconductor-based material _are_ the gates or/and the paths between them made of, as compared to the cells in flash storage?
You've mentioned that a CPU can only process one command at a time, while that's true, modern multi-core CPU's can do many in parallel, sort of like an FPGA. But of course FPGA's are still very good at huge amounts of parallel data processing. ;)
Thank you for this video. It is really helping me understand how it all works. I am a subscriber so looking forward to catching up on all of your videos.
Certainly, when you showed 3 gates in an old chip I'm surprised you didn't put any NAND in there; that's more important because of the added inversion and what could we really accomplish with no inversion
Thanks for sharing. If I had a 40x40 grid of push buttons, would an FPGA be able to tell me which of 1600 was selected? I imagine there's some scanning/cycling to do this? Thanks.
You would need either 1600 dedicated pins, or more likely some integrated circuit to detect a subset of buttons, maybe 16 or 32, then multiplex them into the FPGA.
very interesting, now there are a lot of attention towards this technology because of videogames, FPGA emulates games much better than a software emulation...your explanation was very clear, thank you!
On a very basic level, what do they actually do? Can you give us an analogy, something that a guy off the street or your grandmother can understand? Thanks
FPGA was also "Ferrous Pin Grid Array" is there any similarity between the two? Or is this a case of All CPU's are FPGA's but not all FPGA's are CPU's?
+Frater Jacobs I just googled "Ferrous Pin Grid Array" and there were literally 0 results. So those words have never been said before your comment 7 hours ago. Neato!
8:58 This is just false, multithreaded CPUs have been in use for decades now. The SOCs we use in our devices are all multithreaded and multi-cored. They're very much capable of parallel processing.
Any of the ones using the Nandland Go Board are a good bet! (I created the Go Board and all of these projects) ruclips.net/p/PLnAoag7Ew-vr1M98Q5K2kLHxFQ5l0DU3B
Why don't commercialized Processors utilize parallel processing? it is not really a required use-case? Can the multi-core nature of CPU's be used in a parallel manner as apposed to sequential processing to mirror the likes of FPGA's? I'm also interested to see how the FPGA market will adapt to IoT and the off-loading of logic/workloads to cloud based environments.
+Max Coates Actually that's probably going to happen more. Intel recently purchased #2 FPGA designer Altera. They're planning on releasing CPUs with FPGA logic inside of them for datacenter applications. It's exciting times for FPGAs! I'm not sure how many IoT applications there are for FPGA to be honest. IoT usually requires low-power, background type applications with low throughputs. Also IoT is low cost/high-volume, which isn't necessarily good for FPGA, that's more for a cheap microcontroller.
Your way of teaching is awesome. Thank you soooooo much. This video really helped for my examination. Keep making videos like this. On VLSI circuit design and implimentation.
this might be the clearest video about FPGA introduction I've ever found, thank you
8 years later, I am watching your video. Thanks a lot. You explains it so well
Very clear, straightforward, and you managed to explain why FPGA is so important. Thank you very much!
Thanks man, I have programmed only in high level (C/C++) and this whole world is new to me. Great explanation and it left very clear what is the motivation for using these devices today.
You explained this topic so easily, loved how you got all excited while saying FPGA are fun
@ 4:13 "nand gates, which I have a particular affinity for" hahahaha made me laugh out loud NandLand I love you

Very nice and neat beginner intro to FPGA
BEST explanation ever! thank you!!
Great and didactic explanation for non-technical people. Appreciate it!!
Thank you, for someone who knows nothing about programming that helped a lot. Now my question is how does someone become an FPGA programmer ?!
I bet those jobs are well paid.
@@hailsatyrdefinitely yes but FPGA is still a niche technology. There are some geographical hotspots where the regarding industries are settled, so you need to be ready to move.
Better presentation than Mr.X,PhD with lots of degrees.Keep going man!
I like the way that you explain basic about an FPGA.

Great introduction. Easy to understand and follow. Good Job nandland.
Amazing! You’ve explained everything so clearly. Thanks a lot!
Liked and subscribed. Do upload videos on verilog and VHDL tutorial. Thanks
Just ordered the Go board and thinking to learn it from your videos and website
Much appreciated!

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
new here.. simple explanation..subscribed and following/learning. Thank you
Nice, I appreciate you taking the time to explain this.
Excellent Introduction of FPGA. Thanks
Just fantastic! Thank you, it helped a lot!
while working on designing and developing an EEG sensor project to study brainwaves, what would you recommend as best options to choose an FPGA board and a compatible ADC daughter board. I am using Quartus prime litle edition.
How a word or a digit 123..Etc or a name converted into electrical signals , how electrons carry it.
Still a helpful video. When introducing EE topics to people who will never use them clear, simple but accurate history is critical. Thank you.
Excellent introductory video for FPGA's, thanks! :)
very clear and concise explanation. Super helpful. Thanks
very informative, didn't knwo what an FPGA was before this. Or Verilog and VDHL.
Good that you take up that you do things in parallel, that is a corner stone. You actualy write a decription how to connect logic rather then describe a sequens.
Very clear and well made explanation.
Many Thanks for this video. It's so difficalt to find FPGA videos in Thai language.

Boy, I like your channel. Subscribed.
thanks a lot for providing complete and clear information.
Simple and perfect explanation! Thank you
very helpful video, eagerly looking for more
Great description!
Thanks! Oh I'm making more videos! You just wait... Muahhahahahaha!
So how does ones simulate Turing Completeness with one of these beasts?

HI SIR PLZ MAKE MORE AND MORE VIDEO OF FPGA AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
THANKS
Should we learne asic Or fpga which is better? In terms of job opportunities
Certainly, when you showed 3 gates in an old chip I'm surprised you didn't put any NAND in there; that's more important because of the added inversion and what could we really accomplish with no inversion
Nice explained for very beginners. Thanks man!
thanks, my university taught me verilog vhdl but
where to implement it you taught me...
You really explain things well. Thank you!
Thank you for the video. It's really helpful.
Thank you nice explanation, great work easy and simple!
Great Video! Engineer in India.......Learning Digital Design
A good introduction... Thanks.
good introduction about FPGA for beginner!
It is very helpful. Great video. Thanks!
Thanks a lot for your good work sir. I gotta guestion that what kind of fpga board do you suggest for high frequency trading for beginners?
Thanks for sharing. If I had a 40x40 grid of push buttons, would an FPGA be able to tell me which of 1600 was selected? I imagine there's some scanning/cycling to do this? Thanks.

@@Nandland Thanks for the reply. Sounds like I'd need to use a CPLD instead.
@@jeffjohnson2792 that's basically the same thing
thanks to give me idea to start my research on fpga

We have a Small NAND Gate Circuit from the early 80's and we could use a little help in understanding it. You up for it?
Nice work, man!
On a very basic level, what do they actually do? Can you give us an analogy, something that a guy off the street or your grandmother can understand? Thanks
Poli saanum🔥🔥
Thanks! Great explanation.
Awesome 👏🏼. Best explanation..
whats the name of the fpga he is holding in 11:11
Hi , i am new in FPGA , Could any explain me please FPGA design, verification and validation ?

Great video. learned a lot with this hot teacher
Finally someone said it
Great video! Keep moving!
is that an xilinx xcr3032 ?
can u unroll your logic to make it conduct through in a few 100 nanoseconds?
nice work man keep it up
Beautiful Dear :) Keep it up !

thank you so much....explanation was soo good..
sir how to star this from basic.
Does it also handle analog (digitized) also? Very good presentation.
Sure! The Go Board is able to output video to its VGA connector. More: www.nandland.com/goboard/introduction.html
thanks! Very good tutorial for beginners)
Great tutorial. I just subscribed.
Nice video man!
i think it f balls grid array because i read to fiend the solution of device problem thank u nand land
This was awesome thanks man
Thanks a lot,I understand thanks to you 🙏🏼
Your way of teaching is awesome. Thank you soooooo much. This video really helped for my examination. Keep making videos like this. On VLSI circuit design and implimentation.
sir why intel are better than amd ? At same clock speed and cache .
compilers optimized for intel.. amd had intergrated mem controller on cpu die way before intel, devil is in the small silicon details.
